Chapter 1 – The Empress is truly unfathomable

"The Empress's decree: Meng Qingzhou is appointed as the Empress's Husband. The Empress's Husband is born blind and dislikes seeing people, so the wedding will be kept simple. This is an imperial order!"

***

"What! The Empress's Husband is actually a young man with no background, no status, and no cultivation level?"

"Absurd! This will bring shame to all nations!"

"Depose Meng Qingzhou as the Empress's Husband and choose a new one! Meng Qingzhou is unworthy!"

"According to rumors, Meng Qingzhou doesn't even know the true identity of the Empress. Who knows if it's true or false..."

***

Great Jin Dynasty.

The palace, Taiji Hall.

A handsome young man with long hair draped over his shoulders had his eyes covered by a black silk cloth.

Meng Qingzhou was holding a water pot, watering the flowers and plants inside the fence.

"By my calculations, it's been three years since I traveled to this world." Meng Qingzhou muttered to himself, slightly lost in thought.

He was originally an ordinary office worker. One late night, after finishing a novel called "Conquer the World," he woke up to find himself in the novel's world.

Familiar with the plot, he knew it was a story about an overpowered protagonist.

Meng Qingzhou didn't want to be a tool for showing off, so he resolutely chose to retire to a rural life.

At that moment, the system awakened!

The "Blind Sword Saint System" stated that as long as he sealed his eyes and imprisoned his divine sense, completely cutting off his perception of the outside world, he would continuously grow stronger!

Almost every minute, Meng Qingzhou's cultivation level and sword sense were growing crazily.

Without hesitation, Meng Qingzhou chose to seal his vision and divine sense.

Since he wasn't truly blind, he planned to unseal them once he became invincible.

Thus, Meng Qingzhou became a truly blind swordsman, wandering the rivers and lakes alone.

At first, he couldn't adapt to being blind, even eating was a problem, and his cultivation level was shallow.

Just as Meng Qingzhou was about to starve to death, he met a young lady and made a deal with her.

The young lady's name was Dongfang Liuli, said to be the daughter of a wealthy family in a village, pressured by her family to marry, she just wanted to find someone to deal with it.

As long as Meng Qingzhou agreed to be her live-in son-in-law three years later, the down payment was ten taels of gold!

Meng Qingzhou agreed without much thought, thinking that maybe after some time, this rich young lady would find her ideal husband and happily marry him.

But unexpectedly, more than three years later, Dongfang Liuli actually sent someone to find him, asking Meng Qingzhou to fulfill the agreement.

Meng Qingzhou, with his easy-going nature, did not break the promise and simply became a live-in son-in-law with peace of mind.

"Very well, I happen to remember a swordsmanship scripture. A few years ago, an old man with a white beard gave it to me while I was traveling the rivers and lakes. I'll tell it to you." Meng Qingzhou lifted his robe and sat at the stone table, pouring himself a cup of hot tea.

Though he couldn't see, Meng Qingzhou's sense of his surroundings was strong, allowing him to accurately locate objects, making him appear no different from a normal person.

Su Qingqiu blinked her eyes in confusion and asked, "Master, how do you know it was an old man with a white beard?"

Meng Qingzhou:......

Oops, I forgot I'm supposed to be blind.

Should I tell her that the so-called old man with a white beard doesn't exist, and the swordsmanship scripture I'm about to tell is just my own insights?

"Do you want to listen or not?" Meng Qingzhou coughed and urged.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Su Qingqiu quickly agreed, kneeling obediently beside Meng Qingzhou, not minding the dust on the ground, looking up at him eagerly.

Only then did Meng Qingzhou calm his mind and slowly began to speak...

***

As time passed, Meng Qingzhou sat upright like a pine tree, reciting the swordsmanship scripture.

"Hide the blade within the sheath, gather strength and release, mind and energy in one force..."

Su Qingqiu knelt and looked up, initially pretending to be interested, as her true identity was a genius sword cultivator.

But as she listened, she became completely captivated, unknowingly entering a state of enlightenment.

Around her, lotus flowers of sword scars appeared out of thin air, and blue sword talismans gathered in her pupils.

After about half a hour, Su Qingqiu woke up as if from a dream, her delicate body shivering with shock and excitement, thinking to herself:

"Such insights must be from a great being in swordsmanship! Comparable to the profound meanings of swordsmanship!

I actually broke through to the Cloud Ascension Realm because of this!"

Su Qingqiu looked at the ethereal and indifferent Meng Qingzhou, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Meng Qingzhou didn't know what Su Qingqiu was thinking. Just now, he felt a cold and frosty sword sense emanating from her.

With his divine sense imprisoned, Meng Qingzhou could only rely on his senses to judge, thinking that Su Qingqiu was a genius in swordsmanship.

Thinking of this, Meng Qingzhou softly said:"I remember quite a few swordsmanship scriptures like this. You can come often, and I'll tell them to you."

Su Qingqiu's heart trembled, her breath halted.

Such precious scriptures, and there are many more!?

"Such valuable scriptures, I am unworthy to receive them..." Su Qingqiu said.

Meng Qingzhou smiled lightly, his eyes covered by the black silk cloth curved slightly:"No matter, these are just external things to me."

Su Qingqiu tightened the gauze over her sword robe, through the strand of black hair falling over her forehead, her clear eyes reflected the young man in black, thinking to herself:

"The Empress's Husband is indeed unfathomable!"
